Hello all!
I am much newer to scripting in Python and my experience is almost exclusively
limited to writing tools for use in a Maya production pipeline for which I am
the exclusive author. So please excuse the rudimentary nature of the code! I am
learning best practices as I go. :)
Here is my issue: I have a "toolsMain" script which I use to call functions
from a "userInterfaceElements" script for UI element creation. From there, the
commands on the buttons and widgets will call functions from a "modelingTools"
script which I import as "MOD". When I run the scripts in Maya, the UI loads
correctly, but when I press the "Merge" button on the UI window I get the
following error: # Error: NameError: file <maya console> line 1: name 'MOD' is
not defined #
But I know it does. I have quadruple checked my spelling and syntax multiple
times, and I am beginning to think something is happening that I don't quite
understand and haven't seen before. I have successfully imported scripts,
passed arguments between scripts and functions in the past, but this seems new
and different and I can't quite figure it out. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!
The code for the 3 scripts is below in its simplest form for cut and paste
purposes:
"toolsMain.py"
[python]
import maya.cmds as mc
import userInterfaceElements as ELEM
reload (ELEM)
def toolsMain ():
if (mc.window("toolsWindowMain", exists = True)):
mc.deleteUI("toolsWindowMain")
toolsWindow = mc.window(title="Tools Window", iconName= "toolsWindow",
widthHeight=(400, 500))
scrollMain = mc.scrollLayout("ScrollLayoutMain_01", w=390, hst=16, vst=16)
tabsMain = mc.tabLayout("TabLayoutMain_01", imw=5, imh=5)
##TAB 1 - Main
tab_1 = ELEM.stdColumnLayout("ColumnLayout_01", "TabLayoutMain_01")
## Modeling Frame ##
ELEM.stdFrameLayout("ModelingFrame_01", "ColumnLayout_01", "Modeling")
ELEM.stdRowColumnLayout("ModelingRowColumn_01", "ModelingFrame_01")
#Modeling Buttons
ELEM.modelingButton("MergeButton_01", "Merge", "merge",
"MOD.doMergeWindow()")
#Organize Tabs
mc.tabLayout(tabsMain, edit=True, tabLabel=((tab_1, "Main")))
mc.showWindow(toolsWindow)
[/python]
"userInterfaceElements.py"
[python]
import maya.cmds as mc
import modelingTools as MOD
reload (MOD)
def stdColumnLayout(name, daddy): #(name, parent)
mc.columnLayout(name, parent=daddy, rowSpacing=5, columnWidth=390)
return name
def stdFrameLayout(name, daddy, callIt): #(name, parent, label)
mc.frameLayout(name, parent=daddy, label=callIt, borderVisible=True,
collapsable=True, width=390)
def stdRowColumnLayout(name, daddy): #(name, parent)
mc.rowColumnLayout(name, parent=daddy, numberOfColumns=3, rowSpacing=[10,
5])
def modelingButton(name, callIt, tip, runIt): #(name, label, annotation,
command)
toolTip = "DEFAULT"
mc.button(name, parent="ModelingRowColumn_01", label=callIt,
annotation=toolTip, command=runIt, enableBackground=True,
backgroundColor=[0.68, 0.76, 0.66], width=125, height=30)
[/python]
"modelingTools.py"
[python]
def doMergeWindow ():
print "POPPING UP A MERGE WINDOW NOW..."
[/python]
